"Fortunately, I was not taken away by him, but by...your mother to Fiji."

When the word "mother" was mentioned, she indeed saw a cold look in Gu Qishen's eyes.

"Over the past two years, she has taken good care of us mother and daughter. She loves us so much that I want to give her the best things in the world..."

"Nannan, I don't want to mention her."

Gu Qishen's expression had turned grim.

He was no longer at the age where he needed maternal love, and he found it sad and boring to bring up this matter at this time.

As expected, he hated Luo Yan and didn't even want to mention him at all.

But no, the fault was clearly not hers, why should she bear all the blame alone? It's unfair to her.

"You promised me you wouldn't be angry." Ye Jianan straightened his handsome face and forced him to look at him. "Brother Qi Shen, no matter how angry or resistant you are at this moment, promise me that you will listen to me, okay?"

Gu Qishen stared into her clear eyes and was silent for a long time before he sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Ye Jianan calmed down and then spoke, "Today I went to Ciyou Temple and met your father."

Gu Qishen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"He told me that your mother left you behind because he forced her to leave. He forced her to leave just like he forced me."

"Back then, the Luo family was brutally wiped out. Your grandparents, two uncles, and dozens of other people in the Luo family were killed in the fire. The murderer has not been found yet. This was actually done by your father's enemies back then."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qishen's expression became even more solemn.

Gu Jinchen was well-known in the martial arts world back then, so he naturally had many enemies. The identity of the arsonist was not difficult to guess.

"Your mother almost died at the hands of her enemies. He said he couldn't protect your mother, so he used all means to force your mother to divorce him, drive her out of Yongcheng, and never let her come back. He explained to the outside world that he was deeply in love with his own white moonlight and disdained her."

As for what happened exactly, Ye Jianan didn't ask in detail, and she was not interested.

"Qi Shen, your mother was forced to leave. You were only a few months older than Youyou at that time. How could she have the heart to abandon you, such a young child?"

"She loves you very much. I can tell from her feelings towards Yoyo."

"Also, after she gave birth to you, coupled with the Luo family being wiped out, she suffered from postpartum depression and selective amnesia."

Gu Qishen looked at her in shock.

"The selective amnesia lasted for a long time. I don't know the details, so I guess the reason why she didn't visit you or contact you for many years was probably the sequelae of amnesia. She might have... forgotten your existence for a while."

Gu Qishen then began to recall every little detail between him and Luo Yan. Before this, he had only met her five times in total.

The first time they met was when he was ten years old. I still remember it clearly. It was a very awkward meeting between mother and son. They had nothing to say to each other and were as unfamiliar as strangers.

The same thing happened to Luo Yan. When she saw him, she called his name. He was so excited. He was still young at that time and longed for maternal love, but was afraid to get close. He had very complicated emotions.

With nothing to say, they just added each other’s contact information, and Luo Yan would call him later. But as he grew older, his desire for maternal love, which was already weak, became weaker and weaker, until it became dispensable and finally completely unnecessary.

So they contacted each other less and less, because even if they talked on the phone, they had nothing to talk about.

The two of them held their phones quietly. Apart from her asking questions and him answering them, and insignificant greetings, there was silence.

"Qi Shen, I didn't understand the importance of a child to a mother before, but I understood it after giving birth to Youyou. Youyou is my life. I believe your mother felt the same way as I do now. She loved you. Can you give her a chance?"

Gu Qishen pursed his thin lips into a straight line and did not answer.

hard to decide.

After all, maternal love is too unfamiliar to him.

"The Luo family was tragically wiped out, which was a huge blow to her. Later, she had to endure being abandoned by your father on the grounds that he had a new lover, forced to divorce, driven out of Yongcheng, and deprived of her right to be a mother. If these things happened to me, I would go crazy."

Ye Jianan stared into his eyes steadily, "Qi Shen, your father's mistakes should not be paid by your mother. How much torture has she suffered over the years to be able to stand in front of you and let you see what she looks like now? Mother's love is a regret that I long for but will never get again, and you obviously have it within your reach, so don't push her away, okay?"

After Ye Jianan finished speaking, Gu Qishen let her go and went to the floor-to-ceiling window. He flicked open his lighter, lit a cigarette, and smoked it dejectedly.

Ye Jianan accompanied him quietly.

After a long time, Ye Jianan broke the silence in the room, walked over and hugged him from behind: "Qi Shen, allow one more person to love you, okay?"

Gu Qishen smoked three cigarettes in a row, put out the remaining cigarette butts in the ashtray, turned around and looked at her.

"Okay, I promise you."

Hearing this, Ye Jianan finally smiled and said, "I knew you would agree. I have something else to do and I have to leave first. You can take your time."

After saying that, she kissed him on the lips, then she picked up her bag and flew away like a happy little butterfly.

Gu Qishen stood there, staring at the door slowly closing in a daze. After a long time, he called Xiao Qi and said, "Go check the fire at Luo's house that year."

After leaving Gu's company, Ye Jianan drove back to the Gu family's old house.

When Mr. Gu saw her, he was still as curious as ever, and greeted her with a smile, "Jana, you finally came back."

"Grandpa." Ye Jianan felt very close to him when he saw him.

Then he gave him the pipe he had prepared early in the morning, made from briar root nodules, as a gift: "I hope you like it."

The old man usually likes to collect these things. There are quite a few study treasures, pipes and the like in his collection room. Now, looking at the pipe made of rare heather root nodules given to him by Ye Canaan, he can't let it go.

"I like it, Canaan, you are always so considerate."

"As long as you like it." Ye Jianan helped him sit down.

At this time, Wei Qing and Gu Jinwen came back from outside with Youyou.

When Yoyo saw her, he almost didn't recognize her.

It was only when she called her that she blinked her big watery eyes and threw herself into her arms: "Mom, I miss you so much."

Ye Jianan picked her up, held her in his arms and kissed her fiercely for a while, then looked at Gu Jinwen and Wei Qing: "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, I'm sorry to trouble you two."
